Maybe you're sick of seeing me photograph this Malabrigo... but some things can't be helped.

I'm endlessly captivated in watching the form of a hefty yarn cake change as you work with it (WARNING: former-art-student-gone-yarn-nerd alert!). There's something seductively sculptural about Malabrigo - it must be the subtle thick and thin single combined with the all that saturation and color depth.

I haven't commented before but I just had to say I completely relate to your feelings on this yarn photo! It makes me want to pick up my pencil and start drawing it---the texture, the lines... ahhh! I guess I'm another former art school nerd, too... Great photos BTW!

I owe my obsession for this specific gold in Malabrigo to you. I thought I was almost over it until you posted this picture again! The problem is I can't wear this yellow, being of Asian descent, and if I knit something with it, I would hate to give it away. So it's sitting in my "stash to be paid for" at the lys where I work, until I can decide or bite the bullet.

I'm knitting a hat with Malabrigo right now, and I'm surprised this stuff is not considered a controlled substance. So soft, such incredible colors (mine is 'sealing wax'--lots of rose-pink and coppery brown. To die for.)

Yours is marvelous too! It looks like the singles on Rumplestiltskin's bobbin.

I feel like such an overall nerd for saying thing, but I've been reading your blog for a few weeks and I absolutely LOVE your yarn pictures. I use them as my desktop backgrounds because they're so beautiful (and I heart yarn).

Thank you so much for ANOTHER potential desktop background. I love love love what you knit. I hope all is well and thank you for such a great blog to read.

I say "Bring it on!"I could never get sick of seeing such lovely yarn.

But it does make me green with envy. On my last trip to NYC I searched high and low for some elusive Malabrigo and came back empty handed (well... not empty handed, but no Malabrigo anyways) And of course none of my LYS carry it.

glad to see someone else is as obsessed with malabrigo as i am! i'm wondering where you buy your malabrigo in nyc...i found it in knit ny, but they haven't gotten more, so i've had to resort to buying it online, which is cheaper, but less instantly gratifying...

i just found your blog and am so glad i did! your knitting is amazing and inspiring!
